THE    LORD'S     PRAYER. 


Our  Father,  which  art  in  heaven, 
hallowed  be  thy  name;  thy  kingdom 
come;  thy  will  be  done  in  earth  as  it 
is  in  heaven  ;  give  us  this  day  our  daily 
bread  ;  and  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we 
forgive  our  debtors  ;  and  lead  us  not 
into  temptation,  but  deliver  us  from 
evil  ;  for  thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the 
power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever.     amen. 


THE 

TEN    COMMANDMENTS. 


I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  which  have  brought  thee  out 
of  the  land  of  Egypt,  out  of  the  house  of  bondage. 

I.  Thou  shalt  have  no  other  gods  before  me. 

II.  Thou  shalt  not  make  unto  thee  any  graven  image, 
or  any  likeness  of  any  thing  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or 
that  is  in  the  earth  beneath,  or  that  is  in  the  water  under 
the  earth  :  thou  shalt  not  bow  down  thyself  to  them,  nor 
serve  them  :  for  I  the  Lord  thy  God  am  a  jealous  God, 
visiting  the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon  the  children  unto 
the  third  and  fourth  generation  of  them  that  hate  me ;  and 
showing  mercy  unto  thousands  of  them  that  love  me  and 
keep  my  commandments. 

III.  Thou  shalt  not  take  the  name  of  the  Lord  thy  God 
in  vain  ;  for  the  Lord  will  not  hold  him  guiltless  that 
taketh  his  name  in  vain. 

IV.  Remember  the  sabbath  day  to  keep  it  holy ;  six 
days  shalt  thou  labor  and  do  all  thy  work ;  but  the 
seventh  day  is  the  sabbath  of  the  Lord  thy  God :  in  it 
thou  shalt  not  do  any  work,  thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor  thy 
daughter,  thy  man-servant,  nor  thy  maid-servant,  nor 
thy  cattle,  nor  thy  stranger  that  is  within  thy  gates  :  for 
in  six  days  the  Lord  made  heaven  and  earth,  the  sea,  and 
all  that  in  them  is,  and  rested  the  seventh  day;  where- 
fore the  Lord  blessed  the  sabbath  day,  and  hallowed  it. 

V.  Honor  thy  father  and  thy  mother,  that  thy  days 
may  be  long  upon  the  land  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
giveth  thee. 

VI.  Thou  shalt  not  kill. 

VII.  Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery. 

VIII.  Thou  shalt  not  steal. 

IX.  Thou  shalt  not  bear  false  witness  against  thy 
neighbor. 

X.  Thou  shalt  not  covet  thy  neighbor's  house,  thou 
shalt  not  covet  thy  neighbor's  wife,  nor  his  man-servant, 
nor  his  maid-servant,  nor  his  ox,  nor  his  ass,  nor  any  thing 
that  is  thy  neighbor's. 


THE    CREED. 


I  believe  in  God  the  Father  Almighty, 
Maker  of  heaven  and  earth  ;  and  in 
Jesus  Christ  His  only  Son,  our  Lord; 
who  was  conceived  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  born 
of  the  Virgin  Mary ;  suffered  under  Pontius 
Pilate,  was  crucified,  dead,  and  buried ;  He 
descended  into  hell  :*  The  third  day  He  rose 
from  the  dead ;  He  ascended  into  heaven, 
and  sitteth  on  the  right  hand  of  God  the 
Father  Almighty ;  From  thence  He  shall  come 
to  judge  the  quick  and  the  dead.  I  believe 
in  the  Holy  Ghost  ;  The  Holy  Catholic 
Church  ;  The  Communion  of  Saints ;  The 
Forgiveness  of  Sin's ;  the  resurrection  of 
the  body  ;  And  the  Life  everlasting.     Amen. 

*  That  is,  He  continued  in  the  state  of  the  dead,  and 
under  the  power  of  death,  for  a  time.

for  ev-ermore,   and    hath  the   keys  of  |

2  Christ  our  Passover  was  dead,  a  sacrifice  | 

for  our  |  sins.  ||  Therefore  we  keep  the 
feast  no  more  with  the  leaven  of  malice 
and  wickedness,  but  with  the  unleavened 
bread  of  sin-  |  cerity  |  and=  |  truth  : 

3  Christ  is  risen  from  the   dead,  and  hence- 

forth |  dieth  no  |  more  ;  ||  death  hath  no 
more  do-  |  minion  |  over  |  Him. 

4  He  died  unto  sin  once,  but  now  He  liveth 
■    |  unto  |  God  ;  ||  the  Prince  of  Life  could 

not  be  |  holden  |  of=  |  death. 

5  God  did   not  leave   His  soul  in  the  grave, 

nor  suffer  His  Holy  One  to  |  see  cor-  | 
ruption.  ||  He  was  dead,  and  behold  He 
is  alive  again,  and  hath  the  keys  of  |  hell 
=  |  and  of  |  death. 

6  Christ  is  risen,  the  first  fruits  of  |  them  that 

|  slept.  ||  Since  by  man  came  death,  by 
man  came  also  the  resur-  |  rection  |  of 
the  |  dead  ; 

7  And  as  in  |  Adam  all  |  die,  ||  even  so  in 

Christ  shall  all  be  |  made  alive,  |  at  His 
|  coming. 

8  Death    is   swallowed  |  up    for  |  ever  !  ||  O 

Death,  |  where=  |  is  thy  |  sting  ? 

9  O  Grave,  |  where  is  thy  |  victory?  ||  Thanks 

be  unto  God,  which  giveth  us  the  victory,

To  celebrate  His  fame  ;

And  laid  His  robes  aside, 
On  wings  of  love  came  down, 

And  wept,  and  bled,  and  died  ; 
What  He  endured,  oh,  who  can  tell, 
To  save  our  souls  from  death  and  hell  ? 

3  From  the  dark  grave  He  rose, 

The  mansions  of  the  dead, 
And  thence  His  mighty  foes 

In  glorious  triumph  led  ; 
Up  through  the  sky  the  Conqu'ror  rode, 
And  reigns  on  high,  the  Saviour  God.

All  we  yield  to  Thee.

Christ,  we  draw  to  Thee, 
Deep  in  adoration 

Bending  low  the  knee  : 
Thou  for  our  redemption 

Cam'st  on  earth  to  die  ; 
Thou,  that  we  might  follow, 

Hast  gone  up  on  high. 

3  Great  and  ever  greater 

Are  Thy  mercies  here  ;

True  and  everlasting 

Are  the  glories  there, 
Where  no  pain,  or  sorrow, 

Toil,  or  care  is  known, 
Where  the  angel -legions 

Circle  round  Thy  throne. 

4  Brighter  still  and  brighter 

Glows  the  western  sun, 
Shedding  all  its  gladness 

O'er  our  work  that's  done. 
Time  will  soon  be  over, 

Toil  and  sorrows  past ; 
May  we,  blessed  Saviour, 

Find  a  rest  at  last  ! 

5  Onward,  ever  onward, 

Journeying  o'er  the  road 
Worn  by  saints  before  us, 

Journeying  on  to  God  ; 
Leaving  all  behind  us, 

May  we  hasten  on, 
Backward  never  looking 

Till  the  prize  is  won  ! 

6  Bliss,  all  bliss  excelling, 

When  the  ransomed  soul, 
Earthly  toils  forgetting, 

Finds  its  promised  goal ; 
Where,  in  joys  unheard  of, 

Saints  with  angels  sing, 
Never  weary  raising 

Praises  to  their  King.     Amen.

Let  me  be  still  and  murmur  not, 

Or  breathe  the  prayer  divinely  taught, 
"  Thy  will  be  done." 

3  What  though  in  lonely  grief  I  sigh 
For  friends  beloved  no  longer  nigh, 
Submissive  would  I  still  reply, 

"  Thy  will  be  done." 


4  If  Thou  should'st  call  me  to  resign 
What  most  I  prize,  it  ne'er  was  mine ; 
I  only  yield  Thee  what  is  Thine  ; 

"  Thy  will  be  done." 

5  Let  but  my  fainting  heart  be  blest 
With  Thy  sweet  Spirit  for  its  guest, 
My  God,  to  Thee  I  leave  the  rest ; 

"Thy  will  be  done." 

6  Renew  my  will  from  day  to  day, 
Blend  it  with  Thine,  and  take  away 
All  that  now  makes  it  hard  to  say, 

"  Thy  will  be  done."

^     Let  me  hide  myself  in  Thee ; 
Let  the  water  and  the  blood, 
From  Thy  wounded  side  which  flowed, 
Be  of  sin  the  double  cure, 
Save  from  wrath  and  make  me  pure.

Could  my  zeal  no  languor  know, 
All  for  sin  could  not  atone, 
Thou  must  save,  and  Thou  alone. 

While  I  draw  this  fleeting  breath, 
When  mine  eyelids  close  in  death, 
When  I  rise  to  worlds  unknown, 
See  Thee  on  Thy  judgment  throne,

Constant  love  to  me  He  shows, 
Yea,  my  very  name  He  knows. 

2  Trusting  His  mild  staff  always, 
I  go  in  and  out  in  peace  ;

Of  His  grace  in  richest  measure  ; 
When  athirst  to  Him  I  cry,

^     While  hearts  and  accents  blend  ; 

Come,  let  us  sing  of  Jesus, 

The  sinner's  only  Friend. 
His  holy  soul  rejoices, 

Amid  the  choirs  above, 
To  hear  our  youthful  voices 

Exulting  in  His  love. 

2  We  love  to  sing  of  Jesus, 

Who  wept  our  path  along  ; 
We  love  to  sing  of  Jesus, 

The  tempted  and  the  strong. 
None  who  besought  His  healing 

He  passed  unheeded  by, 
And  still  retains  His  feeling 

For  us  above  the  sky. 

3  We  love  to  sing  of  Jesus, 

Who  died  our  souls  to  save  ; 
We  love  to  sing  of  Jesus, 

Triumphant  o'er  the  grave  ; 
And  in  our  hour  of  danger 

We'll  trust  His  love  alone, 
Who  once  slept  in  a  manger, 

And  now  sits  on  the  throne. 

4  Then  let  us  sing  of  Jesus 

While  yet  on  earth  we  stay, 
And  hope  to  sing  of  Jesus 

Throughout  eternal  day ; 
For  those  who  here  confess  Him 

He  will  in  heaven  confess  ; 
And  faithful  hearts  that  bless  Him 

He  will  forever  bless.

Who,  or  what,  from  Him  can  sever 
Those  He  makes  His  own  ? 
With  His  blood  the  Lord  hath  bought  us, 
When  we  knew  Him  not  He  sought  us, 
And  from  all  our  wanderings  brought  us, 
His  the  praise  alone.

Let  us  labor,  never  fearing, 
While  we  wait  for  His  appearing, 

All  will  then  be  well. 
By  His  word  our  fears  allaying, 
All  our  feeble  footsteps  staying, 
Let  us  never  cease  our  praying, 

All  will  then  be  well. 

3  Though  we  pass  through  tribulation, 
Christ  will  be  our  consolation, 
Ours  will  be  a  full  salvation, 

All  will  then  be  well.

Fruitful  if  in  Christ  abiding, 
Holy  through  the  Spirit's  guiding,

How  He  left  His  throne  of  glory,

From  His  kind  and  tender  eye,

Little  children  to  receive  ; 
Those  who  seek  Me  find  a  treasure 

Which  the  world  can  never  give."

All  I  am  and  have  to  Thee, 
While  I  cry,  "  What  shall  I  render 

To  the  Lord  for  calling  me  ?" 
While  on  earth,  I'll  love  and  serve  Thee, 

Praise  and  pray  with  every  breath  ;

Gladly  I  will  welcome  death.

J  STOOD  outside  the  gate, 

A  poor  wayfaring  child ; 

Within  my  heart  there  beat 

A  tempest,  loud  and  wild. 

A  fear  oppressed  my  soul, 

That  I  might  be  too  late  ; 
And  oh,  I  trembled  sore, 
And  prayed  outside  the  gate. 

2  "  Mercy  !"  I  loudly  cried  ; 

"  Oh,  give  me  rest  from  sin  1" 
"I  will,"  a  voice  replied; 

And  Mercy  let  me  in. 
She  bound  my  bleeding  wounds, 

She  soothed  my  aching  head ; 
She  eased  my  burdened  soul, 

And  bore  the  load  instead. 

3  In  mercy's  guise,  I  knew 

The  Saviour  long  abused  ; 
Who  often  sought  my  heart, 

And  wept  when  I  refused. 
Oh,  what  a  blest  return 

For  ignorance  and  sin  ! 
I  stood  outside  the  gate, 

And  Jesus  let  me  in.

T  WAS  a  wandering  sheep, 

X     I  did  not  love  the  fold, 

I  did  not  love  my  Shepherd's  voice, 

I  would  not  be  controlled  ; 
I  was  a  wayward  child, 

I  did  not  love  my  home, 
I  did  not  love  my  Father's  voice  : 

I  loved  afar  to  roam. 

2  The  Shepherd  sought  His  sheep, 

The  Father  sought  His  child  ; 
They  followed  me  o'er  vale  and  hill, 

O'er  deserts  waste  and  wild  ; 
They  found  me  nigh  to  death, 

Famished,  and  faint,  and  lone ; 
They  bound  me  with  the  bands  of  love, 

They  saved  the  wandering  one. 

3  Jesus  my  Shepherd  is, 

'Twas  He  that  loved  my  soul, 
'Twas  He  that  washed  me  in  His  blood, 

'Twas  He  that  made  me  whole  ; 
'Twas  He  that  sought  the  lost, 

That  found  the  wandering  sheep, 
'Twas  He  that  brought  me  to  the  fold, — 

'Tis  He  that  still  cloth  keep.

Hosannas  to  His  name.

For  as  He  rode  along 
He  let  them  still  attend  Him, 

And  smiled  to  hear  their  song. 

And  since  the  Lord  retaineth 

His  love  for  children  still, 
Though  now  as  king  He  reigneth 

On  Zion's  heavenly  hill ; 
We'll  flock  around  His  banner, 

Who  sits  upon  the  throne  ; 
And  cry  aloud,  "  Hosanna 

To  David's  royal  Son." 

For  should  we  fail  proclaiming 

Our  great  Redeemer's  praise, 
The  stones,  our  silence  shaming, 

Might  well  hosannas  raise. 
But  shall  we  only  render 

The  tribute  of  our  words  ? 
No  !  while  our  hearts  are  tender, 

They,  too,  shall  be  the  Lord's.    Amen.

The  cheerless  waters  found  ;

Has  not  for  thee  a  home.

Shall  be  called  Jehovah's  children, 

And  shall  dwell  with  God  above.

In  the  realms  of  perfect  light.

Who  bore  witness  of  the  Lord.

Through  darkest  night  and  weariest  day 
Pray  without  ceasing — Christian,  pray  !

The  battle  is  the  Lord's  ; 
Strong  in  Jehovah's  might, 

The  strength  Himself  affords  ; 
O'er  foes  without,  and  foes  within, 
Strong  in  the  Lord,  the  day  thou'lt  win.

Nor  yet  impatient  be, 
In  this  thine  earthly  state, 

Thy  harvest  time  to  see.

He'll  take  His  faithful  workmen  home.

M  but  a  youthful  pilgrim, 
My  journey's  just  begun  ; 
They  say  I'll  meet  with  sorrow 

Before  my  journey's  done. 
The  world  is  full  of  trouble, 

And  trials  too,  they  say  ; 
But  I  will  follow  Jesus 
All  the  way. 

2  Then,  like  a  little  pilgrim, 

Whatever  I  may  meet, 
I'll  take  it, — joy  or  sorrow, — 

And  lay  at  Jesus'  feet. 
He'll  comfort  me  in  trouble, 

He'll  wipe  my  tears  away  ; 
With  joy  I'll  follow  Jesus 
All  the  way. 

3  Then  trials  cannot  vex  me, 

And  pain  I  need  not  fear  ; 
For  when  I'm  close  by  Jesus 

Grief  cannot  come  too  near.

When  death  I  meet  one  day  ;

Come  down  from  above, 
To  invite  little  children  to  heaven  ; 

In  God's  blessed  book 

Poor  sinners  may  look, 
And  see  how  all  sin  is  forgiven. 

For  there  they  may  read 

How  Jesus  did  bleed, 
And  died  for  His  dear  little  ones  ; 

How  clean  He  first  makes  them, 

And  afterwards  takes  them 
To  be  His  own  daughters  and  sons. 

And  then  when  they  die, 

They  soar  through  the  sky, 
To  be  with  Him  in  heaven  above  ; 

For  so  kind  is  His  heart, 

That  He  never  can  part 
From  a  child  that  has  tasted  His  love. 

And  oh,  what  delight ! 

In  heaven  so  bright, 
To  see  the  Redeemer's  dear  face ; 

On  His  beauty  to  gaze, 

And  sing  to  His  praise, 
Forever  in  that  happy  place.     Amen.

Help  me  win  the  victor's  crown.

Steep  the  path  before  me, 

Snares  around  me  lie.

Homeward  to  eternal  day.

Sweet  and  holy  Sabbath  day, 
Blessing  given,  sent  from  Heaven, 

Glad  we  hail  thy  welcome  ray, 
Falling  bright  o'er  homes  of  gladness  ; 

But  thy  sweetest  rays  are  poured, 
Where  the  young  are  early  gathered, 

Taught  to  seek  and  serve  the  Lord.

Softly  pleading,  interceding, 

Saying,  "Children,  come  to  Me; 
Turn  from  worldly  paths  alluring, 

Children,  list  ye  to  My  call, 
In  My  home  are  many  mansions, 

I  have  crowns  and  joy  for  all."

We  would  heed  Thy  words  of  truth  ; 
To  Thy  favor,  gracious  Saviour, 

Take  us  in  our  early  youth. 
To  the  living  fountains  lead  us, 

Be  our  guardian  and  our  guide  ; 
Let  Thy  Holy  Spirit  aid  us, 

Let  us  never  leave  Thy  side.

Bids  Thy  children  all  arise, 
Happy  meeting,  joyous  greeting, 
In  Thy  kingdom  in  the  skies.

CALORY  to  Thee,  my  God,  this  night, 
^^     For  all  the  blessings  of  the  light ; 
Keep  me,  oh,  keep  me,  King  of  kings, 
Beneath  Thine  own  almighty  wings.

The  ill  that  I  this  day  have  done  ! 
That  with  the  world,  myself,  and  Thee 
I,  ere  I  sleep,  at  peace  may  be. 

3  Teach  me  to  live,  that  I  may  dread 
The  grave  as  little  as  my  bed  ; 
Teach  me  to  die,  that  so  I  may 
Rise  glorious  at  the  awful  day. 

4  Oh,  may  my  soul  on  Thee  repose, 

And  may  sweet  sleep  my  eyelids  close, — 
Sleep  that  shall  me  more  vigorous  make 
To  serve  my  God,  when  I  awake. 

5  When  in  the  night  I  sleepless  lie, 

My  soul  with  heavenly  thoughts  supply ; 
Let  no  ill  dreams  disturb  my  rest, 
No  powers  of  darkness  me  molest.

Forever  chase  dark  sleep  away,

To  hide  Thee  from  Thy  servant's  eyes.

Be  my  last  thought  how  sweet  to  rest 
Forever  on  my  Saviour's  breast. 

3  Abide  with  me  from  morn  till  eve, 
For  without  Thee  I  cannot  live ; 
Abide  with  me  when  night  is  nigh, 
For  without  Thee  I  dare  not  die. 

4  If  some  poor  wandering  child  of  Thine 
Have  spurned  to-day  the  voice  Divine, 
Now,  Lord,  the  gracious  work  begin  ; 
Let  him  no  more  lie  down  in  sin. 

5  Come  near  and  bless  us  when  we  wake, 
Ere  through  the  world  our  way  we  take  ; 
Till  in  the  ocean  of  Thy  love 

We  lose  ourselves  in  heaven  above.     Amen.

Guard  Thou  the  lips   from  sin,  the  hearts 

from  shame, 
That  in  this  house  have  called  upon  Thy 

name. 

3  Grant  us  Thy  peace,  Lord,  through  the  com-

Turn  Thou  for  us  its  darkness  into  light ; 
From  harm  and  danger  keep  Thy  children 

free, 
For  dark  and  light  are  both  alike  to  Thee. 

4  Grant  us  Thy  peace  throughout  our  earthly 

life, 
Our  balm  in  sorrow,  and  our  stay  in  strife  ; 
Then,  when  Thy  voice  shall  bid  our  conflict 

cease, 
Call  us,  O  Lord,  to  Thine  eternal  peace.

Come,  your  circle  round  Him  closing, 

Pious  hearts  that  love  the  Lord.

That  the  Prince  of  Life  lies  there.

Come,  ye  gentle  hearts  and  tender ;

/^\NCE  in  royal^David's  city 
^     Stood  a  lowly  cattle  shed, 
Where  a  mother  laid  her  Baby 

In  a  manger  for  His  bed  : 
Mary  was  that  mother  mild, 
Jesus  Christ  her  little  Child. 

2  He  came  down  to  earth  from  heaven 

Who  is  God  and  Lord  of  all, 
And  His  shelter  was  a  stable, 

And  His  cradle  was  a  stall  ; 
With  the  poor,  and  mean,  and  lowly,, 
Lived  on  earth  our  Saviour  holy. 

3  And,  through  all  His  wondrous  childhood, 

He  would  honor  and  obey, 
Love,  and  watch  the  lowly  maiden, 

In  whose  gentle  arms  He  lay  ; 
Christian  children  all  must  be 
Mild,  obedient,  good  as  He. 

4  For  He  is  our  childhood's  Pattern  ; 

Day  by  day  He,  like  us,  grew  ; 
He  was  little,  weak,  and  helpless, 

Tears  and  smiles  like  us  He  knew  : 
And  He  feeleth  for  our  sadness, 
And  He  shareth  in  our  gladness. 

5  And  our  eyes  at  last  shall  see  Him, 

Through  His  own  redeeming  love, 
For  that  Child,  so  dear  and  gentle, 

Is  our  Lord  in  heaven  above  ; 
And  he  leads  His  children  on 
To  the  place  where  He  is  gone. 

6  Not  in  that  poor  lowly  stable, 

With  the  oxen  standing  by, 


308  HYMNS. 

We  shall  see  Him  ;  but  in  heaven 

Set  on  God's  right  hand  on  high. 
Where  like  stars  His  children  crowned 
All  in  white  shall  wait  around.     Amen.

Brought  rich  gifts  to  Jewry's  King, 
Grateful  love,  a  richer  treasure, 

Would  we  as  our  offering  bring.

^-'         morn, 

Whereon  the  Saviour  of  the  world  was  born  ; 

Rise  to  adore  the  mystery  of  love, 

Which  hosts  of  angels  chanted  from  above  : 

With  them  the  joyful  tidings  first  begun 

Of  God  Incarnate,  and  the  Virgin's  Son. 

2  Then  to  the  watchful  shepherds  it  was  told, 
Who  heard  the  angelic  herald's  voice, 

"  Behold  !  I  bring  glad  tidings  of  a  Saviour's 

birth, 
To  you,  and  to  all  nations  upon  earth  ! 
This   day   has   God  fulfilled    His  promised

To   see   the  wonder  God  had  wrought  for 

man  ; 
And  found  the  parents  and  the  blessed  Babe, 
God's  Son,  the  Saviour,  in  a  manger  laid  ; 
Amazed,  the  wondrous  story  they  proclaim, 
The  first  apostles  of  His  infant  fame.

loss, 
From  His  poor  manger  to  His  bitter  cross, 
Treading  His  steps  assisted  by  His  grace, 
Till  man's  first  heavenly  state  again  takes 

place. 

6  Then    may   we    hope,    the    angelic    throng 

among, 
To  sing,  redeemed,  a  glad,  triumphal  song :

Around  us  all  His  glory  shall  display  :

Of  angels  and  of  angel-men  the  King.

From  angels  bending  near  the  earth, 

To  touch  their  harps  of  gold  : 
"  Peace  to  the  earth,  good-will  to  men,

To  hear  the  angels  sing,

Still  through  the  cloven  skies  they  come, 

With  peaceful  wings  unfurled  ; 
And  still  their  heavenly  music  floats 

O'er  all  the  weary  world : 
Above  its  sad  and  lowly  plains 

They  bend  on  heavenly  wing, 
And  ever  o'er  its  Babel  sounds 

The  blessed  angels  sing,

When  peace  shall  over  all  the  earth 

Its  ancient  splendors  bring, 
And  the  whole  world  send  back  the  song 

Which  now  the  angels  sing,

And  every  sense  enchain. 
Chorus. — Beautiful  world,  beautiful  world, 
Beautiful,  beautiful  world, 
Beautiful  world,  beautiful  world, 
Beautiful,  beautiful  world. 


But  there's  a  world  above  us, 

More  beautiful  and  pure, 
Where  all  that's  bright  and  lovely 

For  ever  shall  endure  : 
No  angry  storms  assail  it, 

No  blast  nor  sickly  blight, 
No  chilling  winds,  no  burning  heats, 

No  dark  and  dreary  night. — Chorus. 

We  weep,  for  here  we  languish ; 

But  there's  no  sorrow  there, 
The  eye  that  fondly  gazes 

Shall  never  shed  the  tear; 
No  pangs  of  sad  bereavement 

Shall  pierce  the  mourner's  heart, 
No  grassy  grave  shall  mar  the  ground, 

No  death  shall  hurl  the  dart. — Chorus. 

One  season  bland  and  vernal 

Shall  bless  that  hallowed  ground, 
And  changeless  and  eternal 

Shall  beauty  smile  around  : 
From  hunger,  thirst,  and  weakness 

The  ransomed  souls  are  free ; 
They   drink    the   stream,  they  pluck   the 
fruit 

Of  immortality. — Chorus.

W^E  dwell  this  side  of  Jordan's  stream, 
Yet  oft  there  comes  a  shining  beam, 
Across  from  yonder  shore  ; 
While  visions  of  a  holy  throng, 
And  sound  of  harp,  and  seraph  song, 
Seem  gently  wafted  o'er. 
Chorus. — O  Zion,  city  fair  !  O  Zion,  city  fair  ! 
The  other  side,  the  other  side, 
When  shall  we  meet  our  loved  ones 
there  ? 

2  The  other  side  !  ah,  there's  the  place 
Where  saints  in  joy  past  times  retrace, 

And  think  of  trials  gone  ; 
The  veil  withdrawn,  they  clearly  see 
That  all  on  earth  had  need  to  be, 

To  bring  them  safely  home. 

Chorus. — O  Zion,  etc. 

3  The  other  side  !  oh,  charming  sight ! 
Upon  its  banks,  arrayed  in  white, 

For  me  a  loved  one  waits ; 
Over  the  stream  he  calls  to  me, 
Fear  not, — I  am  thy  guide  to  be, 

Up  to  the  pearly  gates. 

Chorus. — O  Zion,  etc. 

4  The  other  side  !  the  other  side  ! 

Who  would  not  brave  the  swelling  tide 

Of  earthly  toil  and  care, 
To  wake  one  day,  when  life  is  past, 
Over  the  stream,  at  home  at  last, 

With  all  the  blessed  ones  there  !

it  wave 
O'er  the  land  of  the  free,  and  the  home  of

Between  their  loved  home  and  war's  deso- 
lation ; 

Blessed  with   victory   and   peace,   may  the 
heaven-rescued  land 
Praise  the  Power  that  hath  made  and  pre- 
served us  a  nation. 

Then  conquer  we  must,  when  our  cause  it  is 
just, 

And  this  be   our  motto, — "  In   God  is  our 
trust !" 

And  the   star-spangled  banner  in  triumph 
shall  wave

The  glittering  hosts  bestud  the  sky, 
One  Star  alone,  of  all  the  train, 
Can  fix  the  sinner's  wandering  eye.

From  every  host,  from  every  gem  ; 
But  One  alone  the  Saviour  speaks, 
It  is  the  Star  of  Bethlehem. 

3  Once  on  the  raging  seas  I  rode, 

The  storm  was  loud,  the  night  was  dark, 
The  ocean  yawned,  and  rudely  blowed 

The  wind  that  tossed  my  foundering  bark. 

4  Deep  horror  then  my  spirit  froze, 

Death-struck  I  ceased  the  tide  to  stem  ; 
When  suddenly  a  Star  arose, 
It  was  the  Star  of  Bethlehem.

It  led  me  to  the  port  of  peace. 

6  Now  safely  moored,  my  perils  o'er,

Or  on  the  thirsty  mountains  pant ; 
To  fertile  vales  and  dewy  meads 

My  weary,  wandering  steps  He  leads, 
Where  peaceful  rivers,  clear  and  slow, 
Amid  the  verdant  landscape  flow. 

3  Though  in  the  paths  of  death  I  tread, 
With  gloomy  horrors  overspread, 
My  steadfast  heart  shall  fear  no  ill,

Ceases  to  preserve  His  own  : 
And    with    triumph    sing    a    Saviour's    grace

A    NEW   YEAR    HYMN. 
"  Chapel  Hymnal.'1'' 
A    YEAR  has  passed  !  another  year 
•*"*-     Unfolds  its  hopeful  prime, 
And  hearts  reflecting  on  its  birth 

Look  down  the  lines  of  time. 
Another  year  !     The  promised  joys 

Of  many  a  soul  have  fled, 
And  hopes,  that  kept  the  heart  astir, 
As  flowers  have  fallen  dead. 

2  Another  year  !     The  mourner's  grief 

With  winter's  snows  has  past, 

And  through  dark  clouds  of  penury 

Kind  fortune  beams  at  last ; 
Another  year's  fair  page  of  life 

To  man's  account  is  given, 
Awake  and  use  the  hours  aright, 
To  make  thee  meet  for  heaven  ! 

Amen.

YKTHY  mournest  thou,  my  anxious  soul, 

Despairing  of  relief, 
As  if  the  Lord  o'erlooked  thy  cares, 
Or  pitied  not  thy  grief? 

2  Hast  thou  not  known,  hast  thou  not  heard, 

That  firm  remains  on  high 
The  everlasting  throne  of  Him 
Who  made  the  earth  and  sky  ? 

3  Art  thou  afraid  His  power  will  fail 

In  sorrow's  evil  day  ? 
Can  the  Creator's  mighty  arm 
Grow  weary  or  decay  ? 

4  Supreme  in  wisdom  as  in  power 

The  Rock  of  Ages  stands ; 
Thou  canst  not  search  His  mind,  nor  trace 
The  working  of  His  hands. 

5  He  gives  the  conquest  to  the  weak, 

Supports  the  fainting  heart ; 
And  courage  in  the  evil  hour 
His  heavenly  aids  impart. 

6  Mere  human  energy  shall  faint, 

And  youthful  vigor  cease  ; 
But  those  who  wait  upon  the  Lord 
In  strength  shall  still  increase. 

7  They,  with  unwearied  step,  shall  tread 

The  path  of  life  Divine ; 
With  glowing  ardor  onward  move, 
With  growing  brightness  shine. 

8  On  eagles'  wings  they  mount,  they  soar 

On  wings  of  faith  and  love  ; 
Till,  past  the  sphere  of  earth  and  sin, 
They  rise  to  heaven  above. 

Amen.
